Is it only me who can’t get into single player games anymore? I’ve always been into MP games but I loved my RPG’s etc. Now I find my self getting bored of single player games quickly and going back to RS or Battlefield. I think it is because my time is limited with the kids. Anyone else the same?

It's Time for the FINALS!!! Ghost Recon:Wildlands vs. Horizon:Zero Dawn

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon:Wildlands - the Ubisoft open world PVE/PVP shooter - was our #1 seed, and has been dominant so far in beating Fortnite and NBA2K17.

Horizon:Zero Dawn was the #2 seed and is a sand box RPG/single player adventure that was a critic's darling, as well as being universally liked by those who played it.

Is Horizon the game that will break the streak of multi-player shooters that have dominated Team MP GOTY up to now?

Voting will be open for 7 days. It's always interesting to hear your comments on each game, not just your vote - so don't forget to give the reasons for your vote and what you liked about each game. Bonus points for posting Team MP gameplay videos!!

Horizon:Zero Dawn - the #2 seed - bested Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice in the first round by a score of 5-1. Meanwhile the #3 seed PUBG destroyed Resident Evil VII by a score of 8-1. H:ZD is a massively well respected and universally liked PS exclusive single player RPG, while PUBG is easily the most-played multiplayer game on Steam for the last ~ six months - smashing records for simultaneous on-line players. An early access version was launched on XBOX in December and has a decent and growing contingent of MP's and friends squadding up every night and taking down some chicken dinners.

GR:W stomped all over Fortnite 9-1 in the first round, living up to their billing as favorites in this competition. NBA2K18 upset the #4 seed Assassin's Creed:Origins by a close score of 4-2.

Can NBA2K18 pull off another upset over the #1 seed this week? Let's find out.

PUBG captured 5 nominations and the #3 seed by virtue of it's PC release metacritic score of 85. Resident Evil 7 captured 2 nominations and had a very good metacritic score of 86.

Despite being a console exclusive PS4 game, Horizon:Zero Dawn captured 5 nominations and the #2 seed by virtue of a pretty damn good metacritic score of 89. Hellblade:Senua's Sacrifice captured 2 nominations and had a decent metacritic score of 82.

This is actually a pretty interesting match-up as both are single player games with female protagonists.

AC:Origins captured 5 nominations, while NBA2K18 had three. They were also close in metacritic ratings - with ACO having a cross-platform average of 83 while NBA2K18 averaged 82.

This match-up should be no contest, but it would be interesting to hear your comments on each game anyway - so don't forget to give the reasons for your vote and what you liked about each game. Bonus points for posting Team MP gameplay videos!!

Time once again for our annual Team MP Game of the Year nominations and bracket-style competition.

Here's how it will work this year.

In this thread, or on the Discord in the #game-of-the-year channel, you can nominate up to 5 games for Game of the Year. These could be PC games, PS4 exclusives, XB exclusives, or Wii/Nintendo exclusives. You don't have to have played the game, but it certainly helps. You don't have to rank your nominations - each game you nominate will receive one vote.

To be eligible, a game must have released during calendar year 2017, and should not be DLC. When in doubt, I will use this list to determine eligibility:

On January 14 at Noon, nominations will be closed. At that point, all games that received nominations will be ranked and the games that received the most nominations will be seeded from #1 to #8. If there are ties for any seeding, the ties will be broken by the game that has the higher average user score on metacritic.

Each game will be matched up in a direct 1 vs. 1 match - #1 vs. #8, #2 vs. #7, #3 vs. #6, #4 vs. #5. Each matchup will be run in an individual poll on the Team MP Site in the "General Gaming" folder. Match-ups will be announced on Discord, but not actual voting will the place on discord - all votes must be recorded via the poll on the Teammp.net forums. All polls will run for at least one week. Winners of each match-up will move up to the "Final 4" and then lastly the championship match-up - full on NCAA bracket-style.

All participants are highly encouraged to list the reasons for their nominations or votes, as one of the benefits of this is to learn about games you may not have played yet. Debate is encouraged.

Tue, 03 Oct 2017 11:21:13 GMTHas anyone tried the Boomerang game rental service in the UK?

£11 per month = 1 game at a time inc. new releases, no restrictions on number of games each month.
£10 per month = 1 game at a time but less likely to get new releases, no monthly restrictions
£8 per month = 1 game at a time, releases over 3 months old, max. 2 different games per month
£4 per month = 1 game at a time, releases over 6 months old, max. 1 game title per month

Do you reckon that is worth it considering a new game costs around £50

I used rent games through LoveFilm, before Amazon bought them out and cancelled that service.

Even nine months on from launch, as we begin to enter the last, frantic season of this year’s busy gaming calendar, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard has held steady as a serious GOTY contender for 2017. The critical and commercial success of Capcom’s rule-breaking masterpiece has inevitably set the stage for a sequel, and with the Gold Edition of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard on the way, it feels like a good time to explore what we know about its sequel, Resident Evil 8 (or whatever it’s going to be called), so far.

According to EA’s VP of investor relations Chris Evenden, gaming is going to end up like Spotify and Netflix, moving from traditional ownership of content, to a subscription model. The change is “inevitable,” with gaming following the way that “the music and video entertainment worlds have already moved.”Evenden said all this while speaking at the Deutsche Bank Technology Conference.“We’ve been building an infrastructure both from a product and a marketing perspective so we can move our slate across to new platforms, and we can move with our games across to new platforms as well,” Evenden said. “So all of these things, we’ve been working on for five or more years now, actually. But I think it’s inevitable that the gaming entertainment world will move in much the same way that the music and video entertainment worlds have already moved, in the sense that people have moved from an ownership model to an access model. And you’ll see that in gaming, just as you’ve seen it with Spotify and Netflix in other media businesses.”He continued to explain how the subscription model results in a much lower cost of entry for new customers. It’s less of an investment, less of a risk, and should attract more people. “Right now if you want to play FIFA in the United States, it will cost you $460,” Evenden said. “You have to buy the game; you have to buy the console. In a streaming world, it could be $9.99 a month. The commercial details have to be worked out, but whatever number it ends up at is very much less than $460. So that extends your market, because all you need locally is literally a smart TV.”Can you imagine a world in which a TV is all you need? What about moving from owning all of your games to subscribing to multiple collections for all of your virtual needs?

Any MPs have or considering buying one of the horror titles "Dead by Daylight" or "Friday the 13th" for ps4? Both are asymmetrical multiplayers where you play both killer and victims/survivors.

Both titles released in June this year, I think.

Edit: Just found out Evolve is on offer in the PS Store at a considerable discount. Tthfry and I have bought it to see if it can be a fun addition to the MP multiplayer experience. Anyone else wanna try?
